Concerned : Enough to discuss.With the doc who gave you the shot. Herniated disc in the lumbar region can cause these symptoms.

No: Epidural steroid injections may be effective for the treatment of sciatica. Side effects include a flare up of symptoms. New symptoms may indicate progression of nerve irritation.
